I wonder how well I'd do with it on audio. I'd really have to be able to concentrate! To experience the book properly :-D

I love that series. I am currently rereading that one. I really want to read the ties book.
I started Strange the Dreamer. Love the narrator. I stopped at the end of part one ao I can answer the questions. If I didn't needs to answer DQs I would still be listening to it.

Same!! I am re-reading the first two so I can get to the third! I can't wait to find out what happens after that cliffhanger ending in ACOMAF!!

I remember being so frustrated with the way it ended. I find myself picking up things I didn't' before.

WOW- why so long??? I read it as a teenager- surprised I had the attention span to make it through. Or maybe the attention span was better then!

Re-read it on audio- still an awful story! Poor Piggy :(
YES! Wish the next book was already available. I want to know what happens next so bad.
No and that's really frustrating. I am definitely going to buy this book after it comes out in paperback and the price goes down to reread it before the next one comes out. I want to know how Lazlo and Sarai are going deal with Minya. Also what all can Lazlo do.

Has anyone read
? I got the kindle book for my son and am considering reading it.
Ora wrote: "Has anyone read ? I got the kindle book for my son and am considering reading it."I haven't read that one yet, but I think I have it on hold through Overdrive.

I will see how I like it this weekend, at least that what I am planning right now.
I read Needful Things but it has been some time ago. I liked it at the time - I would read it again.
I try to read at least 1 Stephen King book per year, usually around Halloween. I have never successfully finished IT yet! I've attempted it at least twice, but never quite made it! Maybe this will be the year!
I have 11/22/63, but I haven't gotten around reading it. It's so thick, I feel like I wouldn't be able to finish it.
I'm pretty sure the only Stephen King I've read is Misery and it was many, many years ago. Not sure why but they never appealed despite me enjoying a lot of the films based on them. I used to read loads of Dean Koontz and James Herbert too so it's not like I didn't like the genre. I have heard my parents have a stash of them so maybe I should give one a go.

I was planning on starting it this weekend but it may wait and day or so since I just got A Gentleman in Moscow from my library and I have a few I have already planned on reading before the end of the week.

The Stand is my favorite King book."It" is probably in my top 20 horror all time novels.
Pet Sematary is the darkest book that still gives me chills today.

How did I forgot about the Dark Tower series!!!

I haven't read Pet Sematary. I remember my husband and I went to a matinee to see it after it's been out awhile. It was only us and another couple. Never realized how scary a movie can be in an empty theater.

I LOVE Pet Sematary!! Also Bag of Bones & Dreamcatcher. Gotta love a book with shitweasels in it!! Planning on reading The Gunslinger next.
Pet Semetary is one of the very few King books I haven't read yet. I'm very sensitive with animal stories so keep avoiding it. The same with Cujo. 11/22/63 was amazing and Needful Things is definitely up there as one of my faves as well as The Dark Tower series. I do love a bit of King.

Ooh! Michelle, maybe you should avoid Pet Sematary entirely forever. It also deals with a young child.... That bothered me waaay more than the pets!! Can you imagine being Stephen King's child? Nobody would ever want to hear a bedtime story!
I read Heart-Shaped Box and NOS4A2 by Hill both were pretty creepy. I'm waiting on Overdrive for The Fireman.

You have to like her writing- where you check out of your logical thinking and just go with the flow of the fantasy. It's not a quick read. Lots to take in and visualize. But it all comes together. And there's a sequel!
